TV NEWS JULY 3

Antenna TV announced that many sitcoms were coming in 2017, but Welcome Back, Kotterwasn't on that list...
but it's coming soon! In fact the classic '70s sitcom joins the line-up
this September. Antenna TV still has at least 5 other sitcoms coming
in 2017, including The Hogan Family, Growing Pains, Head of the Class, Alice and Murphy Brown. No word on any timetables just yet on those, or a date for Kotter in September. You'll just have to continue to keep it right here as we get that Fall 2017 schedule. Welcome Back, Kotter
was on the MeTV Network, but was removed earlier this year, as looks
like they have lost rights to the series. The series starred Gabe Kaplan
as a wisecracking high school teacher in charge of a racially and
ethnically diverse remedial class called the "Sweathogs." The sitcom
aired on ABC from 1975-79 and starring Kaplan, Marcia Strassman, John
Sylvester White, Robert Hegyes, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, Ron Palillo and
John Travolta.
